Main articles: Human rights, Individual rights, and Personal rights

Much of the western world values the concept of individual rights. These rights vary from culture to culture, and by very definition, from person to person, and appear mainly in individualist societies.

In such cultures, it is generally considered that you have:

• security rights that protect people against crimes such as murder, massacre, torture and rape
• liberty rights that protect freedoms in areas such as belief and religion, association, assembling and movement
• political rights that protect the liberty to participate in politics by expressing themselves, protesting, voting and serving in public office
• due process rights that protect against abuses of the legal system such as imprisonment without trial, secret trials and excessive punishments
• equality rights that guarantee equal citizenship, equality before the law and nondiscrimination
• welfare rights (also known as economic or social rights) that require the provision of education and protections against severe poverty and starvation
• group rights that provide protection for groups against ethnic genocide and for the ownership by countries of their national territories and resources
